Xavi's numbers in the league, much better than those of his predecessors

In spite of that his walk in the UEFA Champions League was far to be the expected and fell deleted in the phase of groups by second consecutive year, the face showed by the FC Barcelona in LaLiga Santander has been very distinct. When being the competition that 'reward' the regularity, the culés have known to compete with his local pairs and, for the moment, situate in the highest of the table of classification, waiting for that the Real Madrid confront to the Girona this Sunday.

The triumph in front of Valencia was reflection of the 'gene' winning of the Barcelona square in Spain. The Catalans did not have his night more 'fine', showing very imprecise in the final metres and being punished by the fault of puntería of his forwards. However, Robert Lewandowski presented once again like the 'hero' of the team and rescued the 3 points 'in extremis', which went a 'balsam' for a staff injured after the 'varapalo' received in the League of Champions and allowed to keep the series of parties won in League.

This victory, besides, leaves in evidence the good work made by Xavi Hernández from his arrival. And it is that when defeating to the group 'che', the blaugranas add 31 units in the first 12 days of the local championship (10 victories, 1 tie and 1 defeat), being east the puntaje higher after 12 dates ligueras in the last five seasons. Definitely, a milestone for the trainer culé, the one who has attained 'encarrilar' to a team that was adrift in the previous weeks to his arrival.

And it is that before the landing of the egarense in the City Condal, Ronald Koeman lived moments very hard in the club. In the campaign 20-21, the first of the Dutch in the benches of the Spotify Camp Nou, the Barcelona achieved 20 points in 12 days, with 6 victories, 2 ties and 4 defeats. Worse went them in the following course, where accumulated 17 units with 4 meetings won, 5 empatados and 3 stray, being east the puntaje lower after 12 dates in the last polish.

Valverde, near of Koeman

By his part, the two last seasons of Ernesto Valverde at the head of the team left similar numbers to the ones of the 'sergeant'. In the 18-19, the team attained 7 victories, 3 ties and 2 defeats in the first 12 days for a total of 24 points. By his part, the walk of the team in the 19-20 was not very different, adding 25 units when accumulating 8 victories, 1 tie and 3 defeats until the doceava date. Like this then , Xavi follows showing that it is the indicated to lead a project with a future very ilusionante.
